I’m actually working right now on the “Happy Colours Blanket”! The circles in the square inspired me though my colors are different; mine will be white, gray, turquoise and aqua. This will be only the second blanket I’ve ever made and the first that’s pieced together after creating the motifs. I love the randomness of the big circles mixed with the smaller ones and I can’t wait to start playing with different layouts.
